Hi, all! Question for you. One member in my cohort is a step above the rest of us--she has two masters', whereas the rest of us are coming straight from undergrad. I love what I do--grad school is a great fit. I like research, I like courses, I like teaching, I like the subject matter--but I can't help but compare myself to this cohort member who is an all-star in every sense of the word. She does work for fun, she says, and spends every moment on figuring out more collaborations, starting up more projects, getting her name out there, etc. And to be honest, I really like to read books in my spare time, not work even more. I think I would lose my mind. Does anyone else have experience with this kind of situation? It's so difficult not to compare myself and to feel completely unmotivated because I won't be as motivated as she is, or as prepared or as successful. It's draining. For those of you who have end-of-year evaluations, are we compared against members of our cohort or just on our own? So many seemingly petty worries...
